If I am to read 1001 books before dying, I should get busy. You probably have more time to read this many tomes before entering the tomb.<br /><br />Sorry...I love your both your blog and the clever commenters.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06588693337401747260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36067917.post-77303064089568655352007-01-13T09:42:00.000+00:002007-01-13T09:42:00.000+00:00thank you Liz that was all the encouragement I nee...thank you Liz that was all the encouragement I needed to buy the book.

I can almost see the temptation to call one's lovely squashy peachy baby "Apple" - though "Peach" now, there's a thought (mind you, Peaches Geldof...). But a plump 56-year-old Apple (I think of myself here)? <br /><br />It's certainly a lot more excusable than Hyena!<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your sick little one. I've not been able to read my usual number of blogs because of spending so much time with my mum.

Daft me!<br /><br />I'm going to have to buy the 1001 books book because I fancy desecrating the tomb (spelling mistake on purpose there) by writing in the date I finished each book in it. But do i have to reread the ones I've already read or can I just write "read prior to" on each? What do you think?velcrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729091819572955175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36067917.post-47454372608921953812007-01-12T07:26:00.000+00:002007-01-12T07:26:00.000+00:00I have that tomb and it is really a great referenc...I have that tomb and it is really a great reference work!
